Travelling India Is Not For Begginers | Bangladesh To India

[@markglover2525]

Mate - you did really well in really adverse conditions. When people are under phenomenal stress, as you were in this video; exhausted, confused, vulnerable and bombarded with complicated information in an alienating environment, you see their true colours. You were polite, flexible, and willing to accept help and advice. Absolutely saw you in a new light. Vast respect to you feller.

[@farandbeyond]

Thank you brother this comment means a lot to me. Your right, it really tests us in moments like this. It was a super challenging afternoon haha but it all worked out in the end 🙌🏼

[@laramcloughlin2112]

Wow that was a great turn of events.. what lovely people.. no wonder you're exhausted by the end of that day 🙏💖

[@farandbeyond]

Yeah it was a hectic day and week

[@SattickDas2001]

I'm sorry you had to face such an issue in my city. If I had known before I probably could've been of some help

[@farandbeyond]

No stress brother, and thank you, it's all apart of the journey

[@md.sayedhossainnoyon]

Chris, i miss you in bangladesh 🇧🇩

[@farandbeyond]

Brother I miss Bangladesh 🇧🇩

[@venkats9674]

Pack you stuff and go to Manali, Himachal Pradesh stay there for a week. Catch the fresh air and then go to Delhi. Board the plane and leave. That would be a better Indian experience for you.

[@farandbeyond]

Thanks for the suggestion bro

[@Dan-xx5jq]

Wow! That was so kind of those guys to help you out. Indians are generally very kind. If you ask for help they will help you. The South is much more friendier than the North, the reason being is that more people in the North are desperately poor. Welcome to Incredible India!

[@farandbeyond]

They were lovely guys, I honestly had a very tumultuous time in India, I do have some negative vlogs coming out unfortunately but I can only post what I experience!

[@realgrilledsushi]

These hotels in India should’ve mentioned in the booking platforms if they don’t accept foreigners. I noticed in other travel vlogs where in India there are hotels that don’t accept foreigners.

[@farandbeyond]

Yeah but they showed me their settings, they had no foreign guests turned on, so it wasn't really their fault, it was the fault of Agoda! I got a full refund in the end anyway ...

[@PradhanmantriBruhh]

I apologise on their behalf you had to face so much issues🙏🏽

[@farandbeyond]

Thank you brother, it's all good, it's how travel goes sometimes🙏

[@ryno1808]

Seems this way in every 3rd world country. When you go to your hotel to check in they dont have your details and have no clue about you staying. Its another easy scam to get you to pay again because they know you need somewere to stay its happened to me multiple times aswell. They just act dumb about it its unreal.

[@farandbeyond]

I would never pay a second time! They just operate differently and it's not efficient!

[@RickMeetsWorld]

great job filming the interaction at the hotel

[@farandbeyond]

Cheers my bro

[@misslindalou6479]

Oh, My God!!!

[@devrajvlogs9466]

So was your money returned did Agoda pay you back ?

[@farandbeyond]

Yes fortunately they did, I was super happy about that

[@laramcloughlin2112]

Did you end up getting your money back from the hotel?

[@farandbeyond]

Yeah mar I did thankfully 🙏🙏

[@Dan-xx5jq]

You cannot stay in some hotels as a non-citizens. The police have to be approved of the hotel to allow foreigners. Most small towns you will have this problem. In the tourist area you will find plenty of hotels for tourists.

[@farandbeyond]

Yes I know that now haha

[@Dan-xx5jq]

​@@farandbeyondany time you go off the tourist trail you will have a problem finding a hotel that is approved by the police to allow foreigners. These rules came about after the terror attacks in Mumbai. It may not feel reasonable or logical but they have their reasons for doing it whatever they are. And sometimes it still does not make sense what the government does. 😅😅😅.

[@farandbeyond]

It didn't bother me once I knew about it and could investigate before booking, I didn't know the reason though! But now I do thanks to you, so thank you! 🤙🏼

[@anikm111]

I was going to say that could be a scam. But thankfully I read the comment they refunded your money. I don't know how hotel system works.

[@farandbeyond]

Nah they were all honest and nice guys, I thought the same thing at first but quickly realised it was just an honest mix up

[@MOVIEIpad]

There is both good and bad people everywhere. In India I was approached by sketchy money exchange people, seen the rickshaw and taxi fraud myself, was approached by people asking for money by taking me to a shitty hotel. But this hotel guy was telling you the truth. But they seemed good people

[@farandbeyond]

100% brother, good and bad everywhere, where are you from?

[@MOVIEIpad]

@@farandbeyond Originally from Bangladesh, currently residing in Canada

[@farandbeyond]

@MOVIEIpad oh cool bro, I've never been to Canada. Thanks for being on the channel, I appreciate it brother

[@MOVIEIpad]

@@farandbeyond love your work. Very authentic

[@farandbeyond]

@@MOVIEIpad thank you brother that means a lot 🙌🏼

[@jaydeepsen4769]

Bro, you got ripped. Parking is 100 rupees. And I guess you are staying somewhere near City Centre 2 or VIP Road. The maximum fare should have been somewhere around 200-300 excluding parking charge of 100. Use Uber.

[@farandbeyond]

Yeah bro I knew I got ripped, I usually use apps like Uber, grab or in driver to get from A to B or at least establish a price, but in this case senario id just arrived and had no SIM card so I couldn't use any apps.... thanks for letting me know

[@abhiroy5276]

@@farandbeyondActually from Kolkata Airport to travel anywhere minimum fare is 300 I as a local also pay this which I feel is expensive. But going to the airport is cheap

[@farandbeyond]

@abhiroy5276 ok well I didn't know that, thanks for telling me

[@Prad0206]

Visit Goa next time👍🏻

[@farandbeyond]

For sure brother

[@PradhanmantriBruhh]

Visit Munnar, Kerala. It will break the stereotypes you have about India✊🏽❤️

[@farandbeyond]

Brother to be honest the next few experiences I had and videos I have that will be released soon are not so positive unfortunately. I had a very challenging and hard time in India, so maybe I need to return and go somewhere like this so I can get a second chance at it...

[@PradhanmantriBruhh]

@@farandbeyond Yeah i totally understand. The cities are loud, unhygienic and chaotic. We have a lot to develop. Currently real beauty of India lies in its places which have retained their nature and culture like Kerala, North East, Himachal, Jammu & Kashmir is so beautiful, Rishikesh, Hampi, etc. I would never recommend my friends to visit cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, etc. I myself live far from there😂

[@farandbeyond]

@PradhanmantriBruhh bro I was in Kolkata, Varanasi, deli and Amritsar, I got super sick but what effected me the most was getting scammed and treated like I'm a money printing machine. It was unfortunately a negative time for the most part but I would love to go back and have a good experience because all my life I wanted to go to India. So maybe I will make it a mission to visit these places your talking about

[@PradhanmantriBruhh]

@@farandbeyond That's true, the thing is you have to know the local price in order to do firm negotiation. They will quote high price, you stick to your price and leave they will come chasing and give it to you at fair price. Also tell them you are a marine engineer those who know might respect the hell out of you😂

[@farandbeyond]

@PradhanmantriBruhh bro your right I do need to know the local prices, it would help a lot..

[@MuhammadSony]

okkk

[@farandbeyond]

Thanks for watching
